Verses belong to the Russian classic poet Nikolay Gumilev (1915).
lyrics
Как могли мы прежде жить в покое
И не ждать ни радостей, ни бед,
Не мечтать об огнезаром бое,
О рокочущей трубе побед.
Как могли мы... Но еще не поздно.
Солнце духа наклонилось к нам.
Солнце духа благостно и грозно
Разлилось по нашим небесам.
Расцветает дух, как роза мая,
Как огонь, он разрывает тьму.
Тело, ничего не понимая,
Слепо повинуется ему.
В дикой прелести степных раздолий,
В тихом таинстве лесной глуши
Ничего нет трудного для воли
И мучительного для души.
Чувствую, что скоро осень будет,
Солнца кончатся труды,
И от древа духа снимут люди
Золотые, зрелые плоды.
(Николай Гумилев, 1915)
English Translation:
How could we walk in peace, before,
expecting no joy, no disaster
not dreaming of battles, of flaming retreats,
or the roaring trumpet of victory?
How could we... - but it's not too late,
the Sun of the Spirit bends down to us -
soothing, threatening, it pours
across our skies.
And the Spirit blooms like a May rose,
tearing darkness apart like fire;
knowing nothing, blind, the body
obeys him.
Our on the wild, beautiful plains,
in the quiet holiness of the deep forest,
the soul knows no torment
nor the will any difficulty.
It will be autumn, soon: I feel it.
The Sun's work will be done
and people will pick golden fruit
from the Tree of the Spirit.
(Nikolay Gumilev, 1915)

Russian Black Metal. A one man, George Gabrielyan, project. Thick with atmosphere & overflowing with skill on every song. This guy can conjure the best melodies & overlay them with the bleakest of vocals to create that unique contrast that few others can! Highly recommended!!! bmurator

Atmospheric Black Metal from the heart of Siberia. Grima is a band that paints one hell of a picture with their music. Intense shrieking vocals echo behind such awesome instrumentals.
Leaves you feeling the bitter cold winds of a desolate snowscape. Abyssius Murkraken
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
